I hope you and yours are staying safe and as comfortable as possible during these uncertain times!

I just wanted to take a moment to share with you all a remote interview I was able to do with the amazing Rachel Salazar from the Pueblo West Library this past Monday. We chatted about The Silence Between Us, a bit about In 27 Days, and my wacky writing process.

It’s hard to believe that The Silence Between Us has been out in the world for almost two months now – and what an unbelievable experience this has been!

And thank you so much to you all for your support and encouragement….I don’t think I would’ve made it this far without you!

If you haven’t picked up your copy yet, head on over to your favorite retailer to grab the book today! Did I mention it’s also available in audiobook format too?

I’d also like to take a moment to give a special shout out to the lovely people over at the Waving Hands organization in South Florida, who personally reached out to me after having read The Silence Between Us. 😀

They are a fabulous organization with the amazing mission of providing, “services to Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals and their families with skills in community involvement, entertainment, education and advocacy, for the purpose of furthering and maintaining a quality of life that is conductive to independent and healthy living.”

Having worked in Deaf services myself for two years, I know this is something we absolutely NEED more of. Kudos to Waving Hands for making it happen!

I’m a bit late to the game here, I know – turns out keeping busy with work, writing, and a surprise pregnancy can really take a lot out of you!

And with some more exciting news…we are now less than a month out from the release of The Silence Between Us and I can hardly believe it! I started this project back in 2017, and it’s come along way since the very first rough draft.

I’m so unbelievably excited and nervous to share this Own Voices story with you all, but I think it’s about darn time! I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever poured this much of myself into my writing before, so this project has become something very near and dear to my heart.

I really hope all you readers enjoy it!

So click on one of the links below to pre-order your copy of The Silence Between Us now and send in pics of those receipts by August 12 to get those pre-order incentives.

I hope life is treating you fantastically and that there are plenty of good reads on your bookshelves waiting to be devoured.

But in other news…I’ve got some traveling ahead of me!

Recently I was asked to attend the School Library Journal’s Day of Dialog this coming May 29 and sit on a Young Adult panel with a few other amazing authors! I can hardly believe The Silence Between Us caught SLJ’s attention, but I’m honored to be able to participate and speak alongside other fabulous authors such as:

I am so behind in posting this, so firstly, let me offer my apologies! Life has been throwing me more curveballs than expected lately, and only now am I feeling as if I can breathe normally again.

BUT!

I am so unbelievably excited to announce that IN 27 DAYS has been translated into Czech and Polish!

It was unbelievable – and still is – that IN 27 DAYS was published in English, but now in Czech and Polish too? I’m still having a hard time wrapping my mind around it. Take a look at these cool covers:

And just because it’s so gorgeous, I’m going to throw up the cover for the Spanish edition of IN 27 DAYS too.
